Q: What is the best way to upload multiple large images quickly?
SERVER SIDE - PHP AND AJAX
I have found a php and ajax script called Fancy Upload which uploads multiple images and this has been great if those using the cms know how to resize images before they upload them. However, when dealing with large images the upload takes ages as the image has to be uploaded before it is resized on the server side. Therefore i am looking for a client side solution that can resize and upload multiple large images quickly without losing image quality.
CLIENT SIDE - JAVA APPLETS / JAVASCRIPT
My research has led me to experimenting with java applets. Is this the best route to take? Also are there any applets that let you specify dimesions of the images, and other parameters (name) before you upload them, without charging? Can javascript do this?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thx

Re: upload multiple images with client side resize
Java definitely. Javascript is sandboxed and generally cannot do things like this.
